Help 18s wont fit.

Just got c5 18s and was putting them on the back. The side of the rim is hitting a piece which seems to have some hard spung stuff. What do I do?

offset on OEM c5 rears is too high. +61, instead of the +50 to +56 you need. Let the car down, and jack it up by the rear end this time. Compress the suspension, lift by the pumpkin (carefully), and put the wheel back on. It should work. Id look in to getting spacers.
